No.  I wasn't suggesting that it do so when I used Cups as an example, 
and in retrospect, Cups was a poor choice.

I wasn't saying that Upstart should manage printers for Cups.  Cups 
already manages printers.  I was trying to demonstrate conditional 
event dependencies, such that a service is started even if any 
conditional dependencies fail to start or are not available.

So, let me short circuit this discussion: I haven't seen anybody on this 
list suggest that Upstart manage printers for Cups; I certainly wasn't, 
and I started the thread.
